Lyrics Dresden Heather Song - Twa Corbies

Dresden Heather Song

She went for a walk
On the evening of a winter’s day
She went for a walk
A cold wind blew and the sky was grey
And a teardrop hung in the corner of her eye
Was it a frosty air?
Or did she cry?
And her head was heavy and her stride was slow
What had she seen?
Where would she go?
She went for a walk
Out to the fields where the woodlands lay
She went for a walk
Then passed a last house on her way
She turned around and saw to the light
From the window it shone so incredibly bright
But not for too long then she went on
And soon her silhouette was gone
She went for a walk
Over snow covered hills, into the dark
She went for a walk
Where the woods were so impenetrably stark
When she reached the woods and no one was there
The wind grew stronger and frost hung in the air
She grabbed the bottle she had brought along
And drank that liquor so awfully strong
She went for a walk
Soon she felt her tether end
She went for a walk
While the bottle fell out of her hand
She went for a walk
She lay down in the snow so deep
She went for a walk
Where she fell into a dreamless sleep
She went for a walk
Better to be dead than to be a slave
She went for a walk
A blanket of snow finally covered her grave
